Salted Caramel Pecan Brownies

Salted Caramel Pecan Brownies are decadent and everything you want in a brownie and more. Made with real chocolate, they are fudgy with a pecan crunch topping and drizzled with salted caramel.

These could also be called turtle brownies as they have all the ingredients of a turtle candy, chocolate, caramel and pecans.

I am of the belief that if you’re making chocolate brownies, they should be made with real chocolate. Good, dark, 70% kind of chocolate that you would eat. No chocolate with paraffin that doesn’t melt on your tongue and no cocoa powder.

I’m a chocolate snob, can you tell? It comes from growing up in Europe where I had access to the best Swiss and Belgian chocolate.

What takes these salted caramel pecan brownies two levels better (the next level is not far enough) is the salted caramel sauce that is drizzled all over the top. Who doesn’t love salted caramel?

I like to make my own salted caramel sauce because it is just so easy and tastes so much better than store bought.

Not only does the salted caramel make a lovely gooey topping, but if you look at the brownie slices from the side, you can see it partially soaks into the brownie. That’s why I the recipes calls for adding the caramel when the brownies are still warm.
